Hey all - I need some advice on a good coax stripping tool. I have
been doing them by hand all my life. I'd like to get a tool that has replacement blades that can do the job fast and perfect. AIM is the only brand I see the ham radio catalogs...are they good? I want one to do the RG8 and RG58 sizes. -Scott, WU2X |

Results varied a lot with cable manufacturer and never were as good as I could do w/ Bob's method. Dale W4OP |
